I can hand-centre a document on a manual typewriter. Just one of the many skills I was taught and graded on at school months before they became useless.
Now, this is one interesting comic. Snoopy, as we all know, is a writer of books and uses his own typewriter, is now in a store that sells typewriters and what looks, in the glass case in the background, like TAD’s, or telephone answering devices. This is a curious store as it has typewriters with one almost on the floor, just right for Snoopy to use. I notice these things as, back in the early 80’s, I once worked in the electronics section of a department store which sold typewriters, but none so close to the floor.
What’s also interesting is that Snoopy isn’t aware that there’s anything unusual about a dog who can type, let alone use a QWERTY style keyboard. In all his dealing with humans, he clearly sees us as the dummies in the room. What arrogance. But, that’s funny, too.

I take it he didn’t get to finish his letter, and just had to mail it.

It’s like going to a store that sells printers and printing out a few pages just to see whether they are any good.

Yesterday, a commenter queried whether Snoopy ever runs into any adults on his peregrinations. Well, here’s your answer :)

At the Microsoft and Apple stores here in Boston, they actually let the customers use the computers for trial runs.

And that round-headed kid is probably thinking about that Steve Goodman song: “You Never Even Called Me By My Name.”

Something Snoopy typed that doesn’t include “It was a dark and stormy night…”

Snoopy will take the Elite model, since the Pica type is too wide for long-form ;-)
Elite 12 pitch fontPica 10 pitch font
It was always easier to center a page with Pica vs. Elite.

I imagine younger readers will interpret this strip as Snoopy texting CB.

Pretend you’re writing about the Royals and George Brett. Brett went 4 for 5 in a 14-8 loss to the White Sox.

Typewriter stores had sample machines? I suppose that makes sense. Were they really arranged at different heights as depicted?
